German K98 with stuck scabbard

Article about: Hello all, I'm new to this site, joined early this month, after discovering a very nice Bertram SS Dagger in a trunk of a late family member's belongings. Sitting next to it was this bayonet

My apologies for not posting about the scabbard sooner! For some reason I hadn't been receiving notifications that responses had been left. I never managed to get it off of the blade unfortunately however I did sell my dagger to a member here in this group and included the bayonet as a bonus in the deal haha. Thank you everyone for all of your advice and input I really appreciate it
